1.44 Behind closed doors
It was not until the ox cart returned safely that my mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Liu Bei's great achievements were long ago, it was a big deal to earn a hundred gold coins after all. If there was a missed news, it would be unknown whether the road to return for more than ten miles could be completed.
Fortunately, Hu Shang was not malicious. Otherwise...
My mother was really scared.
Liu Bei smiled and comforted, but only five good horses. In addition, the third uncle who was skilled in bowing and horses and the young and strong clan were protected by him. The official road was more than ten miles away, and there was no obstacle. It should be fine.
Expanding the old house is enough for a hundred gold coins.
My mother said that thanks to the clan members' care on weekdays, she should do something for the village.
Liu Bei nodded and praised him for his goodness.
Didn’t the old patriarch want to convert the dry land in the whole village into paddy fields? After thinking about it, it is appropriate to build more overturns and build channels.
For overturning, you can drive by hand, foot pedal, cow, water or wind. The keel blade is filled with a chain, lying in a rectangular long groove, and the body is obliquely placed by a river or pond. The lower sprocket and part of the body are immersed in the water. The drive sprocket, and the blade will wipe water up along the groove and send water out to the upper end of the long groove. This circulation will transport the water to the ditches and irrigate the farmland on the slope. As long as there is enough manpower, the overturning can continuously draw water. It is extremely effective and easy to operate. It can also be disassembled and reinstalled, and transfer the location. It can be irrigated or drained.
Such a magical artifact is of great value.
Liu Bei calculated that only three more keels need to be built in the village to be fully used.
In addition to failure, channels are also the top priority.
Nowadays, Qingxi River is flooded. Dig soil along the ridges of various fields to form a canal. The water can flow along the canal and nourish the fields.
When they heard that Liu Bei was going to cause a fall, the whole family was joking. Who wouldn't know that Liu Bei's family had fallen into a hurry because of the fallen car.
The happiest thing is the craftsman who settled in Lousang.
I keep taking on work and buying fertile land on credit can be estimated quickly.
Liu Bei had nothing to say about the manufacturing process of the overturn. In addition to using more advanced materials to replace the chain transmission system mainly based on wooden axles, he couldn't think of anything else to improve.
"On July 4th, I ordered a quilt room to prepare a foil hammer to clean the mugwort. On the sixth day, I would eat the food and grinding tools to cure grains."
Liu Bei's rice fields still manage water, weed and fertilize. The seedlings grow very well, and they are also very mature.
Recently, his interests are all in his car room at home.
The car house was built in the front yard and was built against the wall. When Liu Bei rebuilt his ancestral home, he looked at it.
In the room, a worn-out carriage was parked.
I didn't think anything at that time. Later, I understood more and more and realized the importance of the carriage.
Just like the cockfighting mother who is reluctant to kill, a carriage is also a symbol of identity.
People at that time said, "The noble ones ride on the car, and the lowly ones ride on the car." Whether you go out to ride on the car or not, your identity and status are demonstrated.
Just like the color of clothes, ordinary people are not allowed to ride horse and carriages, they can only ride ox carriages. Even landlords and powerful people can only ride ox carriages.
Only officials and nobles can ride in horse-drawn carriages. Among them, standing and riding is called "high carriages", and riding is called "anches".
What kind of carriage is used, how many riders and guides are there, and the following carriages all indicate the level of the passenger's official position.
For example, officials with more than 300 stones have three guide chariots in front and two from the chariots in the back. Three dukes to two thousand stones, four cavalry officials; two cavalry officials have all riding horses and swords in front of them, etc.
Generally, when a minor official goes out to work or passes official documents, he can only take a car.
Officials with a total of more than 600 stones can ride in a cart.
A van is a kind of carriage developed from a van. The so-called 'block' means that 'long strips' (fenders) are added on both sides of the carriage, and the 'plate' is folded outward along the 'block', which is called 'block'. The van is mostly made of bamboo mats or leather. It is attached to both sides of the carriage (carriage) to cover the dust and mud rolled up by the wheels. Therefore, "block" is also known as "screen mud" and "car ears".
It also stipulates that officials of 600 to 1,000 stones are only allowed to "Zhu Zuo Bin", and the carriage on the left is painted red. Officials of 2,000 stones are allowed to "Zhu Qi Two Bin".
When driving a car, two horses are used in front of the car. It is the brisk main car that middle-aged and senior officials take when traveling.
The color of the car cover is also differentiated. Officials with less than 200 stones are covered with white cloth, with more than 300 stones, with black cloth, with more than 100 stones, with black silk covers, with green covers, and with emperors.
Liu Bei's grandfather Liu Xiong was appointed as the magistrate of Fan County, Dongjun.
There is one county magistrate with more than 10,000 households, and one county magistrate is in charge of civil affairs, documents, and warehouses; two county magistrates are in charge of public security.
There is one county magistrate with a total of 10,000 households, and the rank is 300 or 400 stones; each county magistrate and county magistrate are one.
Since Liu Bei's grandfather was the county magistrate, he was obviously in charge of thousands of stones.
In other words, in Liu Bei's carriage with the left fender painted red in the carriage is a complete carriage!
The relics of my grandfather have been passed down for two generations. Just like the imperial fruit box from the Liu Bei family, they are also ancestral objects!
No exceeding the rules.
After asking, I learned that the court would often reward the old ministers who retired, as a gift to them, as a gift to them, as a gift. Therefore, later generations used the "Horse Horses and Hanging Cart" to indicate resignation. "Book of Han: Biography of Xue Guangde" uploaded: Xue Guangde, the censor of the Western Han Dynasty, "hangs his carts to pass on his descendants" after retiring and returning home, "to show honor and honor."
The horse has a license and the car has a license. Each car is registered and has been inquired by the company.
This is why Liu Bei spent a lot of money to repair it rather than build a new one.
No matter how rich you have, you can’t buy a card!
Compared with the car with only one ceiling, air leaking from all sides and muddy when running, the car is so advanced.
Liu Bei was not interested in the structure of the carriage.
Craftsmen can repair it.
What Liu Bei cares about is stability and comfort first.
Needless to mention the custom-made hemp mattresses according to the size. Liu Bei also made two "couch chairs" to place hemp mattresses.
The so-called couch chair is similar to the current hidden cab.
Yinji is also called Pingji, which is used for seating. The shape is like removing the chair surface and legs and leaving only a curved back furniture. Liu Bei's couch chair has more chair surface than Yinji, and it also has no legs. This is more stable. After laying the chair cushion, you will feel a hundred times more comfortable.
When the vehicle's own shock absorption problem cannot be solved, isn't it effective to appropriately increase the comfort of the seat?
There are bamboo curtains on all sides of the carriage. Usually, when they are closed, they will be put down to cover the west wind and rain. The carriage is not big. Two people ride together, the driver is on the right, and the driver is on the left. Three people ride together, the driver is in the middle, the left is the venerable, and the right is the next.
Liu Bei later learned that the etiquette of riding a horse-drawn carriage was complicated and was restricted by many so-called "the appearance of riding a carriage" and "the appearance of riding a carriage". It was not as convenient as riding a ox carriage.
I will still ride a horse in the future.
The reason for restoring the carriage was that my uncle asked someone to send me a gift a few days ago. My grandfather asked his mother to take Liu Bei to his 60th birthday next month.
Given that my uncle once said that his mother remarried, Liu Bei had no good feelings for his mother's clan. Of course, it was normal for him to not want his mother to suffer when she was widowed. Therefore, Liu Bei did not have any disgust.
In this era, it was quite difficult to survive until sixty. Even older people would be treated preferentially by the court. They enjoyed many privileges such as giving them a few sticks, giving them wine and meat, exempting labor service, appointing the three elders, and performing the emperor's way. It is strictly forbidden for officials at all levels to summon, detain, and insult or beat the elderly. Once discovered, the official would be abandoned (execute to death in the downtown city).
Any landlord and powerful who have some popularity will do it as long as there are elders in their family who are 60 years old (in vain).
It is a kind of glory to be able to ‘live until old age’.
Where people gather, there will definitely be comparisons.
